Paper roll holder



June 7, 1949. c. WELLER PAPER ROLL HOLDER Filed Nov. 8, 1944 W 122: QM WW II I / v Attorneys Patented June 7, 1949 UNITED STATES ATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

The object of this invention is to provide a bracket for supporting a roll of toilet or other paper, such, for instance, as paper towels, paper or other ribbons, gummed paper rolls and the like.

Another object of the invention is to provide a bracket having a roller for supporting spools of paper so formed that it becomes unnecessary to remove the roller from the bracket in order to place a spool of paper thereon.

A further object of the invention is to provide a fixture including a bracket and roller of a nature to receive a roll of paper over both the bracket and roller whereby it will become unnecessary to remove the roller to insert the same through the spool on which the paper is rolled and whereby accidental dropping of the roller or roll of paper is avoided.

Other features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and the accompanying illustrative drawings in which:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of my device, shown partly in section and having a roll of paper thereon,

Figure 2 is a similar view with the paper roll removed,

Figure 3 is an end view of the device, and

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4--4 of Figure 2.

Like reference characters in the accompanying drawings as above enumerated and in th following specification indicate like parts throughout and in which I0, is directed to my invention as a whole and which includes a wall or anchor plate H, to which is fixed one right angular end or leg 12, of a substantially U-shaped channel or bracket l3, extending horizontally out from the plate H, and has its outer end or leg l4, bent up at a right-angle to conform to its end l2.

The members l2 and M, are provided with aligning perforations l5 and Hi, (the latter being shown dotted) to receive the projecting ends of pins l7 and I8, frictionally carried in bores l9 and 2!! (the latter being shown dotted) in the ends 2i and 22, of a roller 23, which roller is of slightly greater diameter than the width of the bracket l3, in order that the roller and bracket together may pass freely through the spool 24, of a roll of paper 25, and that the member l3, will not interfere with the rotation of the spool upon the bracket. As the upturned end I 4, of the bracket will reach over the edge 26, of said spool, the latter cannot become accidentally detached from the bracket as often happens in most such devices at present in use.

It is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connection with the drawings. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.

Minor changes in shape, size and rearrangement of details and parts such as come within the purview of the invention claimed may be resorted to, in actual practice, if desired.

Having now described my invention that which I claim as new and desire to procure by Letters Patent is:

1. A paper holder comprising an anchor plate, a U-shaped. channel rigidly secured by one leg thereof to said anchor plate, the web of the said channel being disposed at substantially to said plate, a plurality of oppositely disposed apertures in the legs of said channel and a roller of larger diameter than the width of said channel, pins in opposite ends thereof rotatively secured in said apertures.

2. A paper holder comprising an anchor plate, a U-shaped channel rigidly secured by one leg thereof to said anchor plate, the web of the said channel being disposed at substantially 90 to said plate, a plurality of oppositely disposed apertures in the legs of said channel and a roller of larger diameter than the Width of said channel, pins in opposite ends thereof rotatively secured in said apertures, one of said legs being of a taller height then the diameter of the bore of a conventional roll of paper.

COY A. WELLER.
